Dissertation Abstract

Philosophical Essays in Decision-Theoretic Aggregation Majority Rule, Rights, Utilitarianism, and Bayesian Group Decision Theory

29

My dissertation focuses on problems (mostly in ethics and political philosophy) whose unifying feature is that they arise in situations where a group makes decisions that are in reasonable ways connected to the beliefs or values of the individuals who constitute it. These situations are represented by models of decision-theoretic aggregation: Suppose that a model of rationality in decision-making applies to each of a group of agents. Suppose that this model also applies to the group as a whole, and that the group model is derived or aggregated from the individual models. Two kinds of questions arise. First, what sets of reasonable conditions can we consistently impose on the aggregation? Second, what can we learn from formal results gained in such models, in particular for ethics and political philosophy? The dissertation contains seven chapters falling into three parts. Each part uses a different model of individual rationality. Part I uses a model of decision making in which agents are only assumed to rank their options. Arrow’s “Impossibility Theorem” shows that certain conditions that it would be natural to impose on all aggregation cannot be so imposed, on pain of contradiction. I discuss the impact of this result on democratic theory. I also discuss Sen’s “Liberal Paradox”, which addresses the possibility of incorporating rights into aggregation. Part II uses the von Neumann/Morgenstern theory of expected utility (vN/M). A well-known result under this model (Harsanyi’s “Utilitarian Theorem”) has been regarded as supporting utilitarianism. I locate a place within utilitarianism where the theorem can do some work. To prepare the ground, I interpret vN/M as part of a theory of deliberation. Thereby, I embed a generalization of the expected utility principle into the philosophy of practical reasoning. The underlying model in Part III is Bayesian decision theory. Research into Bayesian aggregation has only begun. One essay surveys the area, and a second explores a curious phenomenon that occurs within one theory of Bayesian aggregation (“flipping”).

Jeffrey (Received an offer from Robert Nozick to publish this dissertation in the Routledge “Distinguished Dissertation Series” edited by him, but chose to publish individual chapters in journals instead.)
